chris the forestry issue is a non issue .This is from people who work in the minning industry who post occasionally . Jennings Capital of Toronto who wrote a research Report on EAS said the same thing . As does John Ing CEO of Maison Placement of Toronto who is a geologist as well as the head of the co. There are others who are invested in the co who will tell you the same thing .
The Forestry Issue got started last summer by Cannacord of Toronto and picked up on by a junior reporter on the Northern Miner a Canadian junior miner news paper . EAS asked the Northern Miner for an retactment and an apology over their article and got it . Cannacord was cleaver enough to use inuendo in an article later but it still had the desired effect , caused some who were nervous to sell .
The Forestry Issue in all countries now is a sensitive one . Indonesia is for the most part mining friendly realizing that jobs , taxes , roads, schools ect provided by modern miners can be a good thing . It will take time for investors to learn the issue was false in the first place but one that if went wrong could cause problems for the co. and all investors .
It has for some provided an excellent risk reward situation where the value of a thing is not reconized in its price . For others it means wait until all is well even if the price is 5 $ more per share .
